Quirky decor, for a hostel 5/5 stars

Great room and we enjoyed both the cafe and tea/coffee anytime. Convenient location for exploring Galway. Parking is not always available, and street parking may be equivalent of a couple blocks away, so drivers should be prepared not to have the car near. We had a nice time here!

First time staying at a hostel. Very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even let me use their personal phone when mine couldn't make a local call. No frills, but that's expected. Very good breakfast offering. Bed was hard, but sleep-able.

Perfect base

Fun and funky vibe. Helpful staff. Walkable in 10-15 minutes to great eatery options in either direction. Walk to town center to eat was enjoyable, but you’ll need a reservation to go where you wish in the high season.

Short walk to Galway’s famous restaurant strip. For a hostel, this was well done. We had a clean, tidy room with own bathroom. Had a window we could open which is important because there is no AC. Couldn’t fault it. Recommend.

I needed a place for overnight in Galway City. The Nest was clean, convenient, staff was friendly and efficient, the common areas were comfortable and the were spaces to work. The wifi was excellent. The breakfast was a good value and delicious.Theyx also had lockers available to store luggage after checkout. I was meeting a friend who was coming by bus from Dublin. I was able to store my luggage and take a nice long walk on the beach before meeting my friend. It was perfect for what vI needed.

My first hostel Experience, and was really good.
Everything went well. Met some amazing co travelers.
Only problem is limited parking in the property and I was skeptical to park on the curb, but all went well.

Excellent option for a short stay. Common areas are superb (kudos for the kitchen) however the suite with private bathroom, was very basic. No amenities. Good bed and shower, though

I am not a big fan of hostels but I was only in Galway for one night, so I thought I would book here and save some money. Pretty great little place actually, very clean and restrooms were excellent. Laundry services available on site to use, and the cafe attached to the lobby is excellent. They even have a kitchen and car park for guest use.

Staff were nice and the room was spacious and neat, bathroom was also neat. The reception area was really nice.
The door handle/lock needs a little sorting out but overall I’d say I had a really great stay and would be going back.

Very petite accommodation with a small bathroom and shower but water pressure was good. Bed was comfortable and the noise in the hallways died down early enough.

Really enjoyed a recent overnight break in the hostel for Christmas. Still the same with great staff, atmosphere etc. I had initially stayed a few weeks after it opened in 2016 and 2017 (during the winter months) when working in Galway and always enjoyed my time there. Congrats on all your hard work to keep the standards high and the awards achieved to date. Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and New Year and hope to see you soon again!

This place is in Salthill, which is a lovely little area nearby the water and promenade with cafes, restaurants, a fabulous pub for live music nearby, but a bit of a ways out of the center of Galway. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a spot not in the middle of the madness but easily accessible to it
